Democratic government as the meaning of word is “A government chosen by people of a nation or community to serve for the benefit of nation or that community, and its people ”.
It is consider as the best form of government .Then where the causes of its failure are, which is happening in India presently.
If it is government of public then surely the root causes of its failure lie or related with people and more importantly Normal people. I am enlightening some of them here in this paragraph:
1) As “Right to cast vote is the most powerful weapon given to a normal people in a democracy “. It is very necessary to use it effectively and efficiently .There should be more voting percentage as seen in recent election in different states where it was above 70 % in all states . Whereas in 2009 general Loksabha election it was only 97%. And everybody can visualize the difference immediately. As in Bengal it destroyed the fort of communists and in Tamilnadu it ended the carrier of Mr Karunanidhi with a victorious AIDMK.
2) The biggest threat to our democracy is “Vote on the basis of cast and religion, language and region” .This divide and rule policy was earlier employed by British to rule India for such a long period.
Even people of our country have seen the formation of Pakistan only on the basis of religion.
Later Pakistan suffered from it in form of formation of Bangladesh , but in later case it was division on the basis of Language rather than religion in earlier case.
Our politicians are also applying the same more efficiently because they know our feelings and sentiments properly.
We have seen this policy in India earlier in 1) General election 1989 where Bhartiya Janta Party won 83 in comparison to 2 seats in General election 1984.Only because of agenda of RAM MANDIR .
They again applied in election of 1991 and with a great advancement which resulted in increment of 17 seats in Lok sabha and assured them government in Uttar Pradesh because Mulayam Singh(chief minister of Uttar Pradesh at that time)used force against people creating riots .This victory of 1991 also resulted in many killings in hindu muslim riots of ayodhya and demolition of Babri Masjid.
2)Second case is popularity of Raj Thakre in Maharastra (case of regionalism).I don’t think I should write more about this as it is very recent so each of us knowabout it.
There are countless examples of these policies in our country the basic example is Giving Ticket to a person of majority community in a particular area.and this one is very common and successful in India.
3) Another threat to our democracy is casting vote for a person who is publicizing himself and using huge amount of money in election .If they are spending money for winning election .Then its crystal clear that they are sowing seeds for their crop in terms of money by spending it in election.
Weather an industrialist will finance their election budget or they are using their own money they will take it back with huge margin.
There are several examples:
1) Distribution of laptops and televisions to people of Tmilnadu (its very common there).
2) Distribution of money to people in assembly election of Bihar by Laloo Prasad Yadav in 2005.
3)We have numorous examples of distributing alcohol to persons in election for their votes.
With increasing corruption this policy also prevents incoming of good ,talented and honest person in our politics because either they don’t have many to spent on election or they don’t want to spent their precious money .
4)Our Mentality:- In ancient times we were being ruled by Kings and also exploited by some of them. Then by British .So after such a long period of being ruled by people with huge money and power. Now Our mind is in a state that it won’t accept a talented person from the root or from one of common man to rule on them (as a common man sees no difference between ruler and an elected person for democracy )
5)In the end I am thankful to the public for showing interests in social news because it gives media (one of the basic pillar of democracy)the T.R.P. which motivates and encourages them for covering
Better news .Some examples of such benefits are :- 1)Life imprisonment to Manu Sharma by supreme and high court who was released by lower court , in Jessica Lal murder case .Popularity of Anna Ji and and company.Revealing of many scams e.t.c.
So I want to conclude that please use your weapon and in a right way for choosing a right person.
Because it is is basic duty of a citizen in democracy. It will allow the flow of honest people. And situations like present political crisis and a period of fasts will never happen again in future. And then only Indians will have the fruits of democracy.
